The rooster awakened the sleeping world, and the first morning light was scattered in the sky... The number of people in the side courtyard began to increase. The long-term workers came out of their shacks, carried hoes, plows, shovels and other work equipment, and walked into the fields.

A new day has begun, and it is another day closer to the demise of the Ming Dynasty...

Secretary Qi stood at the door of the yard and searched carefully in the discharged abortion with his half-open eyes, but he couldn't find Zhu Ba's figure. He couldn't help thinking: Could that guy be still sleeping in? Yesterday he punched in the middle of the night, which affected his sleep. Now he may not be able to get up anymore. This idiot, today he not only wants to herd cattle, but also plow the fields that he didn't plow yesterday. Could it be that what he said yesterday was empty? If he was really a guy who said empty words to cheat food and drink, I will let him get out tonight.

Manager Qi grabbed the last senior worker who was discharged from the hospital and snorted coldly: "Where is that boy Zhu Ba? Still sleeping in? Go and call him up for me."

The long-term worker was caught by the manager Qi and asked him to question him. He was so scared that he was full of excitement and said with a smile: "Manager Qi, Zhu Ba is very strange today. It was still dark and the chicken was still holding the old yellow cow out before he could scream. Wang Er asked him where to go. He said there was a lot of work today, so he had to start work early..."

Mr. Qi was slightly surprised and couldn't help but smile and said, "This kid is sensible. If he had been so diligent a few years ago, why would he be hungry like that monkey?"

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was already leading the old yellow cow on the hillside two miles away. He carried a basket and took a sickle. While letting the cow eat grass, he also cut grass by himself. There are two benefits to mowing grass. One is that he can store more grass. The cow can take it home before he has enough food. He can feed it while walking on the road and save it a lot of time. The other is that he can also exercise and strengthen his body by mowing grass.

After Zhu Yuanzhang cut a large basket of grass, the cow was already half full. He led the yellow cow to the Baishui River and let it drink water from the Baishui River. At this time, the year of severe drought in the late Ming Dynasty was already in its infancy. The water volume of Baishui River, which used to be surging, has been greatly reduced and has become like a small ditch. Many irrigation canals in Baishui County can no longer be taken from the Baishui River. Farmers can only carry water on their shoulders and carry water to the fields with buckets to irrigate. It is laborious and time-consuming. Farmland in many places is reducing production... But this is still good and can still support it.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew that by next year, the Baishui River would be completely cut off, and at that time, it would not be possible to fetch water with a bucket. The farmers would have no food and clothing, so they had to rise up and rebel!

In other words, he only stayed here for one year at most. If he had not yet gained some degree of gain from the Ma family in a year, or had not yet prepared to some degree, he had to leave here, otherwise he would only be involved in the wave of peasant uprisings with the Ma family.

Seeing that the yellow cow had full water, he did not let the cow continue to eat grass, but drove it home. While walking, he fed the cows with the fodder he had just cut. When he walked back to the Ma family's field, the morning was not over yet.

Secretary Qi happened to be standing by the edge of the field and supervising the farmers' work. Seeing that Zhu Ba had come back so early, he felt unhappy and said loudly: "Zhu Ba, are you coming back so soon? You asked you to herd cattle to make the cows fill, not to take them out and take them around and go home."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded calmly and said, "I'm already full, if you don't believe me, just look at it."

Mr. Qi came over to check the big yellow cow carefully. Here we will mention how to determine whether the big yellow cow is full. There are two triangular positions on the body of the cow. One is used to fill grass, called grass belly, and the other is used to fill water, called water belly. If the big yellow cow is full, the grass belly and water belly will bulge. Mr. Qi looked down and saw, hey, the grass belly and water belly of the big yellow cow are bulging, and he is really full.

He secretly praised in his heart that Zhu Ba had put the cow in such a short time, which shows that he was working hard. This person has really changed his temperament. He is usually lazy and is like a different person now.

"It's okay, go and plow the land." Manager Qi casually ordered: "Who told you to let go so slowly yesterday? You thieves just don't force them to work."

Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely dissatisfied with the title of "Shizhao", but he did not have an attack. He just looked at Shi Guanshi Qi calmly and turned to get the plowshare. As soon as he helped his hand on the plowshare, he had not started to go down the field. A person ran over the far side of the field genus. The man was panting and sweating profusely. Zhu Yuanzhang glanced and immediately found his introduction from Zhu Ba's memory.

His name is Yang Chao. He is 25 years old this year and is also a long-term worker in the Ma family. However, this person is different from other long-term worker. He is a close confidant of Qiguan. He always wants to call him father. He usually acts as a errand for Qiguan. He will inform Qiguan at the fastest speed when dealing with several villages. Qiguan also likes this guy's cleverness and often promotes him. He also promises that if he is promoted to the inner court manager, Yang Chao will be promoted to his position. Therefore, this guy works harder and does not even want to be ashamed of Qiguan.

Yang Chao ran to the front of the governor with sweat and said anxiously: "It's not good... the fight starts..."

"What's the fight?" Secretary Qi glared.

Yang Chao said quickly: "The people from Ren Village ran to the pond in our Xigu Village to grab water... Of course our people refused to give it to them, but the other party called them. There were only about twenty people here, but forty or fifty people came across... Our people must suffer a loss, so please transfer people to help..."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately realized that this was the case. It turned out that this was the case! Xigu Village is a small village on the edge of Baishui County, and it also belongs to the Ma family. The land there was all bought by the Ma family. The farmers who cultivated those land were all long-term workers of the Ma family.

There is a Ren Village to the east of Xigu Village, but this Ren Village does not belong to Baishui County, but to Chengcheng County. These two villages belong to two different county towns and two different landlord families. Xigu Village belongs to the Ma family in Baishui, while Ren Village belongs to the Zhang family in Chengcheng.

At the junction of the two villages, there is a small pond. The residents of the two villages draw water from this pond. Fortunately, everyone draws their own water, which has nothing to do with each other, but in recent years there have been problems. There are severe droughts in the world, and the water level in the pond is getting lower and lower day by day... Seeing the water level drop, everyone feels that something is going to happen! So they start to compete for ownership of the pond.

In this era, farmers are not verbal in fighting for ownership of territory, and speak directly with fists and hoes!

Residents of the two villages often fight for this. Because Xigu Village is supported by the Ma family in Baishui and Zhang family in Ren Village is supported by the Zhang family in Chengcheng, the conflict between the two sides is becoming more and more intense. From one or two people to four or five people fighting, it has now become a group fight of twenty or thirty people.

At this point, it is no longer a question of whether a village can draw water, but a matter of face for the Ma family and Zhang family! Whoever surrenders will suffer, and his reputation will be damaged and his face will be lost.

After hearing Yang Chao's report, the governor of Qi jumped up immediately and shouted: "It's a rebellion. How dare you hit us? Xiaochao, hurry up and call Wang Er. I'll summon dozens of people who can beat me and go to Xigu Village to beat those idiots. Let them know that our Master Baishuima is not easy to mess with."

Yang Chao agreed, pulled his feet and ran to the Ma family courtyard, looking for Baishui Wang Er. At this time, the governor of Qi opened his throat and shouted to the long-term workers who were plowing the fields: "Come here if you can fight, come with me and go to Xigu Village to beat people. Anyone who follows me will have meat to eat tonight. After making contributions, you will be rewarded with ten copper coins."

The workers in the fields raised their heads and looked here. The timid and afraid of things quickly shrank. The brave ones stood up and gathered towards the side of the affairs of the Communist Party.

Zhu Yuanzhang's heart suddenly moved and he secretly shouted: Opportunity! Finally, I'm waiting for the opportunity to change my status and status! Although this opportunity is not very good, it is certain that it is possible to make yourself eat better and be more valued.

He threw away the plowshare in his hand, walked forward a few steps, came to the front of the general manager, and said seriously: "I'll go too!"

"You are going?" Mr. Qi looked at Zhu Ba's thin body and felt a little funny: "What are you doing like a monkey? Just find someone to crush your bones with just reaching out."

Several long-term workers who were around him also laughed and said, "Zhu Ba, have you been fooled by eating lard these two days? You always make a fool of yourself."

"You can go to fight?"

"You were so hungry yesterday that you fell down, so today I wanted to fight? Tell you a good person. Hitting a hoe on your head hurts much more than hitting a stone on your head. It will be a death. Don't mess with your little body."

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said, "Is it really good to fight? It's mainly not about my body."

"What is the main thing?" Several long-term workers laughed together.

"You are accurate in taking action!" Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly: "Even if I don't have enough strength, as long as I can hit the opponent's weakest place with one punch, the man who is hitting the iron will fall down."

A senior worker who usually doesn't like Zhu Ba came over. The senior worker is a bit strong. It seems that he has been working out a good body after years of farming. He said impatiently: "Zhu Ba, get out of here and play by yourself. Don't fuck us. If I still have to take care of you during the fight, then I'd be able to fart? Take action accurately? **, do you think others are all wood, and you can hit you with one punch? Just the messy boxing technique you made last night, I can knock you down with one hand. You can quickly roll farther the better."

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head. He knew that if he wanted to seize this opportunity to improve his status, he had to show his skills. So he faced him and said, "Do you dare to fight me?"
